Adventures and Misadventures in Ohio 2011

Some of my ride reports on my two weeks in Ohio riding, posted in the Clydesdale Forum. I was hosted by Peter_C, and I thank him again for putting me up and putting up with me in the Buckeye State:

My apologies if you've seen these already. I thought the forum needed some ride reports to balance the 'practical' and 'technical' stuff. Your turn. Start posting stuff about your rides!

While my 'hosting' primarily consisted of a roof, shower, food and transportation, I really enjoyed the time you were with us Neil! If you need a landing spot in NE Ohio again, just give me a call
<<at the time Neil visited, I was still in PT for my new hip, so I wasn't much fun>>

Great post, I was inspired to share a bit of my own experience.

Another one from Ohio. I pushed myself to the point I had dry heaves when riding. I collapsed. Goodness that was fun!

I had a good time, Peter. I just wish we could ride together more often. I should have taken up one of the joint rides with your wife I passed on. One thing I regret is that I didn't push myself harder on the trip. I could have easily doubled my mileage a few days.

Well, hopefully we will get together again, and again Sir Maybe I won't trash a summer in 2012...

Who knows, I might move to Ohio to take advantage of the booming economy.

Hehe?? Booming in Ohio?

But, if you chose to move here, that would be cool (depending on *where* in Ohio, of course). But you've spoken of moving before, so I won't hold my breath - but, if you did decide to move into this neck of the woods, please keep me in the loop as I'd like to help during the move

On second thought, I'll have to reconsider. I'm creeped out that Jeffrey Dahmer grew up near where you live. And began his killing spree there too. (Dahmer's first victim, in 1978, was a college kid hitchhiking across the US; he was buried in the Dahmer family's backyard in Bath Township.)
